Does anyone know how to choose? Microsoft says only to choose the one most
appropriate for me. Should I install both? I have a Vista home premium
machine 32-bit

The first one is for the 64-bit version of Vista. You'll need the
second one (-x86).
 
32-bit so x86. Makes perfect sense to me. 86/32=2.6875*(11.906976744=32.) I
see. :O)

and 64-bit so x64. 64=64

Thanks all!

'Comes from 8086 8088 i186 i286 i386 and i486. The i586 moniker never
happened as Intel called it the Pentium, instead. The i386 (also called
80386) was the first to sport what is called "32-bit architecture". First to
company to build gets to name:

Look to bottom of page for links to the various Intel processors.

No, it comes from the x86 instruction set, used on those processors. x86-64
is a superset of that, and x64 must just be a contraction of that.

I didn't feel the need for one, as it's not something that I have only
just found out, and it's common enough knowledge. You can even get to
that page with only two clicks from the link you posted, via the one for
'x64 instruction set'.

Excuses are not acceptable.
